internal contraction

[mook jong man]

hi guys in the school i come from we were taught to slightly contract the anal sphincter. this had the effect of locking the upper body and lower body as a unit, increasing overall power, relaxing the thighs and enableing fast kicks and fast footwork. do you guys in other schools do this. if so does anybody no any other benefits of doing this.

We do reverse breathing Qi Gong with our Iron Palm hand conditioning which I have just started.We breath in through the nose and raise(contract) the perineum then exhale and relax(drop) the perineum. We time the striking with the drop so that the breathing has a natural rhythm that flows along with striking.
We do Iron Palm in the Woo system at the end of SLT level to get that heavy hand for he short distances of the WC strikes.

I was taught to slightly contract the sphincter from day one. It was one of the numerous things to do in order to practice a new (then...) way to breath.
One day, a different instructor told the class that if we would not contract the sphincter, especially during the horse stand, we would get hemoroids... Perplexed, i decided to loose thing up just to see what would happen... the next day... my butt was itchy... and the day after i had a bleeding cauliflower garden down there...
